Arillo’s book is well-researched but I still have a few stories of my own that I’d like to add.

Once, an Aquino Cabinet member came out with a report that a Cory kin, together with a Kapampangan Customs broker and a spouse of a former senator, were involved in smuggling activities, specifically containers full of Mercedes Benz cars. Oldtimers at Customs are aware of this.

When this Cabinet member handed the report to Cory, she reportedly just browsed over it and then put it aside. The same Cabinet man was so disgusted that he resigned, but Cory prevailed upon him to accept another Cabinet portfolio.

There was also the takeover of some 37, I repeat 37 corporations, suspected to be that of Kokoy Romualdez, brother-in-law of the late dictator, by the in-laws of Cory.

I know this because one of the corporations taken over was Erestores Inc., a structural steel company. It was founded by the late Marcos’ Minister of Transportation Totoy Dans, who was close to Imeldific.

For the record, I was one of the incorporators of the company. I was founding director. That’s why I knew it all.

There was also the takeover of a motor and vehicle corporation with a license to import British Range Rovers and Land Rovers. The in-laws of Cory used this license to import Simba armored cars for the Armed Forces despite recommendations that they were inferior to US-made armored vehicles.

I recall that when I started to expose this anomaly, I was approached by the PR man of Cory’s in-laws. I was invited to go to London, all expenses paid for, to visit the Simba plant. I refused.

And then there was this sweetheart deal between Cory and Shell that exempted Shell from income tax payments in the multi-billion Malampaya project off Palawan. This still holds true today and the amount involved is P70 billion, according to records.
Cory was said to be very close to the then-Shell president who showered her with attention and flowers daily.

A legacy, indeed, of greed and betrayal. And Mr. Clean thinks this legacy will be his ticket to Malacañang?

I found this site while searching for the alleged psychiatric record of Senator Noynoy Aquino. It seems like this is a celebrity fan site. The entries are interesting. I enjoyed as much as learned so much reading here. Here’s my comment anyway:

Whether this Controversial Medical record is true or not, Still, I will not vote for noynoy. look at the issue about Hacienda Luisita, Until now, He can’t make decisions about it, Kung papaano nga ang gagawin niya dito. Noynoy is too emotional. Without his MOM or DAD, he is nothing. Nakakatakot kapag si Noynoy ang nanalo. Mga katulad niyang ginamit lamang ang pangalan ng magulang.

What boggles my mind is that with all the beauties linked to Noynoy, why those relationship did not work or last??? he’s every inch an eligible bachelor, yet he remained single at 50??? is this a question of sexual abnormality or a sign of phsycological imbalance???

Presidential and vice presidential aspirants should undergo phsyciatric evaluation to ensure our future commander-in-chief is mentally sound as a person

Bakit si NOynoy nagbibingi-bingihan sa alegasyon na nagpatingin s’ya sa psychiatrist noong 1996. True or not, we, the voters deserve a clarification from him. We want to know his condition at present. If he still suffers episodes of depression, we deserve to know. Although I am definitely not voting for Mr. Aquino, the rest of our citizens who are voting for him just because he is Aquino and they don’t know the real NOynoy should know kung talagang may topak sya o wala o sinusumpong pa sya paminsn-minsan. Hindi biro ang magkaroon ng presidente na may kulang bah. Paano na ang ating bansa?
